Try booting in safe mode (hold F8 when you start your computer untill you see a menu) if you are using XP choose safemode with networking. There you should not be bothered with the virus and can do what you want( or should be able to) if you are using XP go run housecall at housecall.trendmicro.com and remove all it finds. Get spybot at www.safer-networking.org and adaware www.lavasoftusa.com and update then, then run them and remove all they find. After also run CWShredder just to be safe from www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn and if you still have problems post a hijackthis log, get it at the same place as CWShredder.

When Spybot is complete, it will be showing 'RED' entries ‘BLACK’ entries and ‘GREEN’ entries in the windowEnsure there is a check mark beside the RED entries ONLY. Choose ‘Fix Selected Problems’ and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.

The following explains how to set Ad-aware settings to perform a "Full Scan."And some settings that should be made prior to using the first time.Click on the World icon, select Connect and let Ad-Aware get the latest reference file.

Click the Gear to go to the Settings area.The following items should be on a green check, not on a red X.Under the Scanning button:Scan within archives

Under Memory & Registry, Check EVERYTHING

In Check Drives & Folders, make sure all of your hard drives are selected

Under the Tweak button...Some of these may not be an available option, depending on your version of Ad-aware and your version of Windows. Do not be concerned if you cannot select a certain item.

In Scanning Engine:Unload recognized processes during scanning

In Cleaning Engine:Allow unloading explorer to unload shell extensions prior to deletionLet Windows remove files in use at next reboot

UNCHECK Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion

Click Proceed to save these settings. Now press "check for updates Now" Always check before scanning. Click start [x] choose use default scanning optionsclick next and let it fix anything it finds

Reboot.

Lastly, please move HiJackThis to a permanent folder. I use C:\HiJackThis, but feel free to use any folder name you choose. Run HiJackThis and post a fresh log file.

Just to let you know, I'm not ignoring you. But as you can see, the forums are really busy.
As a trainee, I have to wait for approval from a moderator before I post and they are even busier than the rest of the forum.
